I'd typically say that in spite of JG's flaws, he probably gives us a better shot, but at this point, it feels like he's lost his confidence entirely.

Hate to say it, but it's going to be very difficult to pull out a "W" without Maurer. That said, the way our O-line handled their business the past few weeks, we might be able to get away with a run-heavy gameplan and keep things simple for Shrout.

JG is an automatic L. Might as well give Shrout a shot. Maybe he'll surprise us.

You like many others should give the pregame speech Sat. Jennings would love for you to say he's been working hard all for nothing, he'll probably drop balls on purpose just to make you happy.

I think it'll be tough to win vs S Carolina no matter who plays QB. We beat an SEC west team at home with JG, no reason to think we can't do the same to SCjrs

His loss list is longer.

This........was just going to say that he could be seeing a sports sepcialist or some other neurological expert for a check-up or clearance, etc.

Yep. They have to check to be sure there is no bruising or bleeding on the brain.

I seriously think we can push the dline off the ball enough to allow a decent run game. We will HAVE to hit a few down field throws or they are going to stack the box and its game over. They may stack it anyway and make our QB beat them throwing the ball downfield. Either way i cant call this game one way or another at this point

If all we're going to do is run the ball, I'd almost rather have JG in there. He made a Top 3 all time worst play in Tennessee history mistake last week but he did have some decent drives against a very good defense. If said mistake doesn't happen and he gets us in the end zone we're not even having this conversation.

So, JJ gets ~80 yards, other receivers get ~80 yards, Vols get 200+ rushing yards and 5+ scores, with at least three TDs. Hold the Capons to 24 points or less, and victory!

Shrout has no control over his passes and JG is a turnover waiting to happen. Really sad that this is all we have but hopefully one of them will find a way to win this game.
